outstanding
= بَارِع
بَرُع (baru’a) (imperfect يَبْرُع , verbal noun بَرَاعَة ) means to excel in some quality (e.g. in knowledge or
bravery). The active participle بَارِع (baari’)therefore means excelling, outstanding
etc., e.g. هُوَ بَارِعٌ فِي عِلْمِ النَّحْو he is outstanding in the
science of grammar.
The related verb بَرَع (bara’a), which has a fathah over the middle radical
rather than a dammah, is used transitively, e.g. بَرَعَتْ
زَيْدًا فِي الشَّجَاعَة she outdid, excelled Zayd in bravery.
